Northwest Flower and Garden Show 2015 Blackwaters Metal

One of the vendors that I look forward to seeing at the show is Blackwaters Metal.  I'm a fan of both their work and the fact that Bob and Melanie Delaney are always coming up with new designs.  See previous posts here. This year, several new designs caught my eye like this elephant.

The 12th man welcome sign is new and the quintessentially Pacific Northwest totemic designs continue to be favorites.

I have a thing for faces in the garden so these were right up my alley!  This combination of concrete and metal is new for Blackwaters and I like it although I prefer the matte finish of the bottom one to the glossy finish of the top two.  

I also like Blackwaters Metal's prices!

Also new this year are several fairy designs.  Alison chose some of these to take home.

Doesn't everyone need a moose head hanging in his den? 

Comes in a variety of sizes to compliment the dimensions of your room!

Hope you enjoyed these whimsical rusty metal pieces as much as I did!  If you live in Portland, Blackwatrers will be coming to the Yard, Garden, and Patio show in a couple of weeks in case you saw something you can't live without!

Blackwaters Metal - Cool Stuff & NWFGS pass up for grabs

Visiting the Tacoma Home and Garden Show was a delight both because of the company and because there were so many great things to see.  Blackwaters Metal work  appealed to me both for the quality and low prices. In checking out their website, I learned that they were at the Seattle Show last year and will be again this year.  

Alison and I each bought a cute bat.  I'm hoping he brings more to the NWFGS because I can think of a certain older (much older, thank you for asking) sister who definitely needs one of these hanging around her garden.

Speaking of hanging around, wouldn't this chandelier look great hanging over your patio table? 

There are a few places in my garden that could use a crow.  These can also be powder coated just about any color by whoever does your other powder coating.

A dragon flew home with me.  I'm not sure where it will end up but I'm wondering how hard it would be to have one attached to my car as a hood ornament. 

Pileated woodpecker.

So many cool pieces, it's hard to choose a favorite!

 

I'm pretty sure that a green man and a Claddagh circle will be coming home with me from the Seattle Show! 

And speaking of the Northwest Flower and Garden Show, I have a two day pass to give away if anyone could use it.  If you'd like it, say so in a comment and if there is more than one person who replies, I'll do a drawing.  

 

Only eight more days until the show!
